You have 40mb free on the 8100?? Wow! You must have starved that thing to death! I run lean and only have 25MB! But I do have around 10k messages on the device (I know, I know...it's just nice having history at your finger-tips!

I don' think you will see that range on the Curve as the higher end of free space I am hearing is like 21mb your 24mb is the highest I have heard.

We certainly can but I want my messages and the applications that I run. If you only kept 30 days worth of messages and followed the thread on freeing memory you would be way up there. In my opinion the person above is losing their messages, they are just doing it on their own terms! I have never lost a message (knock on wood). I do a battery pull if I drop below 18.
